Oh! I didn't see that the time was in the url so that you can launch it just by having the right url. Maybe you could try using a way that is url and javascript friendly like a hashtag?
Maybe - but I find it handy to be able to use the browser's URL autocomplete to fill these in for me. That is, I type "5" and firefox pops up with 5.minutestocountdown.com and I can just hit enter to start it.
However, if you are someone who rarely uses the same timer, you would always have to type .minutestocountdown.com after your time because the browser wouldn't know the url yet. I guess it all depends on what use people will make out of it.
I thought people might want to use the site on a mobile device, so I bought a mobile theme from themeforest for $9. Turns out it isn't easy to find a minimalist site template that works well on both mobile and desktop browsers. Let me know if you know of any! I'm not a designer :-)

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 31.3 ms ] threadwhy so small? countdown time should take up entire screen.
you could design the page to be completely fluid and use up to 100% of the screen width.
then use the meta viewport tag and/or media queries to size the page for mobiles. http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/09/combining_me...
